We are so used to seeing small to tiny pieces of a lot of these meteorites, (Orgueil, Ivuna, Vigarano for instance) that it is amazing to see how big they really are. The other big surprise was discovering the meteorites that are never available on the market. When did you last see a large slice of Bustee, Mezo-Madaras, or Pinnaroo? and those are just examples, there were many more. Lastly, I had seen pictures, good pictures, of Lafayette. But this meteorite is even more amazing in person, it is so perfect! Enough raving for tonight! :-) Anne Black IMCA #2356 www.IMPACTIKA.com e-mail: IMPACTIKA_at_aol.com --part1_15e.f3a232d.2a3bfedd_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>In a message dated 6/13/2002 11:57:58 PM Mountain Daylight Time, farmerm_at_concentric.net writes: <BR> <BR> <BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Very nice Anne, thanks, I plan to do the same with Vienna photos next week.
